Yea, it would take a LOT of work and time and money to get a commercial pilots license. It is easier to hire them. I just need to know enough to go with a pilot to the airport to set up the camera system, and get him to stay on the flight line. As busy as I am now no way I want to spend the time and money to get a commercial license. I likely will get to the point that a commercial pilot will operate the aircraft for safe and legal takeoff and get me to the site, and I can show them how to fly the way the camera system requires. It is like a video game, a little red airplane shows up on screen when you are close to the line and the biggest thing is to keep the wings straight and level as possible and not do a banked turn as you slip off the line. The pilot has to just use the rudder to make a turn while keeping the wings level. It is counter intuitive to how they have been flying.
